Here's some documentation of that fact. "In 1826 Johnston graduated eighth of 41 cadets in his class from West Point with a commission as a brevet second lieutenant in the 2nd U.S. Infantry." "He was named Adjutant General as a colonel in the Republic of Texas Army on August 5, 1836. On January 31, 1837, he became senior brigadier general in command of the Texas Army." "He received a brevet promotion to brigadier general [in the U.S. Army]in 1857 for his service in Utah." "...he reached Richmond, Virginia, on or about September 1, 1861. There Johnston was appointed a full general by his friend, Jefferson Davis." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Sidney_Johnston Jan 23 09, 11:14 PM
